1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2** You could say all of ''Music/SinceILeftYou'', an exercise in {{sampling}} with lots of great songs such as the blissful TitleTrack, the catchy and danceable "Live at Dominoes", the more chaotic yet still catchy "Frontier Psychiatrist", and many more.
3** "Thank You Caroline" is the best piece that was never on ''Anime/{{FLCL}}''.
4** "A Different Feeling" from ''Since I Left You'' received ''two'' amazing remixes; one from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZU7GrUHEFI Ernest St. Laurent]], and one from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RMTminMgrg Paperclip People]]. Enjoy.
5** ''Music/{{Wildflower}}'' is proving to be a worthy follow-up to ''SILY'', with catchy tracks like "Frankie Sinatra" and "Subways", among others.
6** "If I Were a Folkstar" is pure SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel from beginning to end.
7* FountainOfMemes: "Frontier Psychiatrist". Being one of the group's most-known songs, some of its lyrics have been taken out of context and repurposed for other means, most notably "That boy needs therapy" and "What does that mean?".
8* NightmareFuel:
9** "Tonight May Have To Last Me All My Life" is creepier than the other songs on ''Since I Left You'', with its whispered vocals saying "tonight" and uneasy use of piano chords in some sections.
10** The [[LastNoteNightmare end of "Two Hearts In 3/4 Time"]], especially since everything leading up to it was so pleasant.
11** Some of the imagery in the "Frontier Psychiatrist" music video can be considered this. The sheer surrealism of it all coupled with the chaotic track brings about a sense of uneasiness.
12* SignatureSong: For their older songs, "Frontier Psychiatrist" or "Since I Left You", which were both released as singles and have tens of millions of views on [=YouTube=] and plays on Spotify. For their newer songs, "Because I'm Me" is the most known, having the most views out of any Avalanches song on [=YouTube=].
13* TearJerker:
14** "Pablo's Cruise" evokes feelings of nostalgia, like flashing back to memories of places visited long ago.
15** "Zap!" has a sentimental and peaceful feeling to it.
16** "Park Music" has some dreamy choirs that could make one shed a tear.
17** "Stepkids" also has a sentimental, nostalgic mood.
18* ToughActToFollow: Due to the massive SequelGap between albums, many critics noted that ''Wildflower'' would have difficulty living up to the success and acclaim of their debut. Many of these comments died down considerably when the album was met with rave reviews.
